Brian Bell's "Fifty Years of Farm Machinery" has been a bible for farm enthusiasts. For this enlarged and updated second edition Brian has divided the book into two. Part One outlines tractor development; ploughs and tillage equipment; cultivators; grain and root drills; planters; manure spreaders and loaders; and, fertiliser distributors and crop sprayers. Part Two, covering harvest, is due to be published in 2010.

Norfolk farmer's son, Brian played a key role in developing agricultural education in Suffolk from the 1950s onwards. For many years he was viceprincipal of the Otley Agricultural College having previously headed the agricultural engineering section. He established the annual 'Power in Action' demonstrations in which the latest farm machinery is put through its paces and he campaigned vigorously for improved farm safety, serving for many years on the Suffolk Farm Safety Committee. For his services to agriculture, Brian was awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire). Among Brian Bell's many publications are three videos on ploughing. He lives in Suffolk with his wife Ivy. They have three sons.
